My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 1624

Freya's voice instantly dispelled all my tension. I clutched at my forehead, looked at myself in the mirror, and suddenly remembered. Edwin was Freya's driver!

In order to make sure the bodyguards would not defy his orders, Hendrix hired a group of new recruits. Freya could not contact me, and Hendrix sent Anne to her house. A smart woman like her immediately knew that something had happened to me and arranged for her men to sneak in. Freya liked new and interesting gadgets, and it was not surprising for her to have a satellite phone. Among all the people I knew, she was the most fearless.

"Is Anne all right?" I was a little worried that Anne thought I had left her again, but I was overthinking. Freya's reply was unusually quick. "Huh, she's doing great. She's gotten lots of lollipops, and is busy playing with Oliver. We don't even have to coddle her."

I was speechless.

If she ate too much candy, she would have rotten teeth. Freya was spoiling her!

Now was not the time to talk about this. I needed to know what was going on outside. In order to save time, I briefly told Freya about Irvin, and then started to trouble her with a smile. "Freya, I know you don't like Valerie and Pedro, but you have to help me this time..."

Before I could finish my sentence, Freya interrupted me. "Say no more. You want me to pass on the message to them. You want them to use the Moore family's influence to keep Granger Group under control, and make sure that the shareholders behave themselves while you and Irvin are not around, right?"

She was too smart, which amazed me for a moment. I nodded to the phone. "Yes."

"I can help you with that."

I was overjoyed and responded, "I'm so grateful to you, Freya. I'll definitely ask Irvin to thank you for your kindness."

"Don't get too excited." Freya was putting me on a rollercoaster when she stopped talking halfway. "Doing Irvin a favor is not important to me. Let me ask you first. Do you know what you are doing right now?" Her serious tone made me come to my senses. Indeed, I had forgotten that before the New Year, Freya had been persuading me to settle down with Hendrix. Now, for Irvin's sake, I had turned against Hendrix. I was even asking her to help Irvin. Naturally, she was not happy to see this.

I was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.

Freya said, "Arianna, Hendrix might be going too far for grounding you, but I think he's doing the right thing. You're pregnant, aren't you?"

"Yes." I nodded. I was so busy with Irvin's affairs after the check-up, and hadn't had time to inform her.

Freya continued, "Since you understand, I won't comment more. I'll look out for Granger Group for you. I sympathize with Irvin for going to such lengths because of love. I respect him, and will treat it as a matter between him and I, as a matter of no concern to you. As for you, you should think about it. After all, you've lost two children, are you still able to tolerate more? Rest well, I'll hang up." Beep...

The sound of the satellite phone being hung up was like the sound of a heart rate monitor at the moment of death. I put the phone near my ear and didn't recover for a long time.

It's not because of Freya's words that made me change my mind. I only felt that people could never seem to share the pain that others felt. I didn't believe that I was the only person in this world who could not turn a blind eye toward my benefactor. But Hendrix and Freya were evidence to me that everyone put their own interests first. They were telling me that this was nothing wrong.

Freya's phone call was supposed to be a hope for me, but I felt like I was driven to the edge and could no longer get back up again.
